Keynote: Michela Matteoli

Michela Matteoli works on the molecular mechanisms at the basis of synapse dysfunctions in neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases. She is also interested in defining how glia-neuron interaction and inflammation impact this process, in order to identify new targets suitable for therapeutic intervention.

She is the director of the Neurological Research Area, head of the Pharmacology and Brain Pathology Lab at Humanitas Clinical and Research Center, Italy, and also a full Professor of Pharmacology at Humanitas University, Italy.
